The Simpson Titen HD 5/8 in. x 5 in. Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength screw anchor engineered for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete and masonry. Tested and qualified under static and seismic loading conditions, this zinc-plated carbon steel anchor delivers outstanding structural reliability even at reduced edge distances and spacings. Its self-undercutting, non-expansion design makes it a dependable solution for demanding structural anchoring applications, and its zinc-plated finish allows use in permanent dry interior environments as well as temporary outdoor conditions.

Key Features

• Qualified for static and seismic loading conditions - gives contractors and engineers confidence that the anchor meets rigorous performance standards for both everyday structural loads and seismic events.
• Self-undercutting thread design transfers load efficiently to the base material - maximizes holding strength in concrete and masonry without relying on expansion force, making it suitable for use near edges and at reduced spacings.
• No special drill bit required - installs using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, reducing tooling costs and simplifying the installation process on the jobsite.
• Hex-washer head requires no separate washer - streamlines installation and delivers a clean, finished appearance without additional hardware.
• Specialized heat-treating process hardens the tip without sacrificing ductility - allows the anchor to cut cleanly into concrete while maintaining the toughness needed for structural connections.
• Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - suitable for permanent dry interior applications and temporary outdoor use, providing flexibility across a range of project conditions.
• Single-use design preserves load capacity - the anchor is engineered for one-time installation; reinstalling may cause excessive thread wear and reduce holding strength, so each anchor delivers its rated performance when used as intended.

Why This Product

• Reliable in the most demanding concrete anchoring scenarios - the Titen HD is specifically tested for performance in cracked concrete under both static and seismic loading, making it one of the few screw anchors suited to structurally critical applications where failure is not an option.
• Faster installation without specialty tooling - because the anchor works with standard ANSI tolerance drill bits and eliminates the need for a separate washer, crews can complete structural anchoring tasks more efficiently without sourcing extra components.
• Versatile enough for structural use at tight spacings - the non-expansion, self-undercutting design allows placement at reduced edge distances and spacings, giving engineers and contractors greater flexibility when laying out anchor patterns in concrete or masonry.
• Built for both interior and temporary outdoor environments - the zinc-plated finish extends the anchor's usability beyond dry interior settings, making it a practical choice for projects that span multiple exposure conditions before permanent enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Titen HD screw anchor be used in cracked concrete?

Yes. The Titen HD is specifically designed and tested for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete under static and seismic loading conditions, making it suitable for demanding structural environments.

Do I need a special drill bit to install the Titen HD anchor?

No special drill bit is required. The Titen HD anchor is designed to install using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, simplifying the installation process and eliminating the need for specialty tooling.

Can the Titen HD anchor be removed and reinstalled?

No. The Titen HD screw anchor should be used one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity, compromising the integrity of the connection.

Is the Titen HD anchor suitable for outdoor use?

The zinc-plated carbon steel Titen HD anchor is recommended for permanent dry, interior non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications. It is not intended for permanent exterior or highly corrosive environments.
